Not a sex toy, but Massage Oil/Candles

My wife loves to be massaged as foreplay, but most of the ones we've tried have either not lasted very long (usually water based) or, during sex, you taste some of the massage oil and its absolutely disgusting (usually oil based).

Is there a happy medium? I dont want to taste it, but i dont want to feel sick if i do.

Im gonna order some of the massage candles, but i'd also like an oil that lasts a long time, but not really disgusting tasting. The Monogamy edible ones seem to be the best ones so far, but £15 does sound kinda expensive.

My skin is like a sponge normally but with this oil, as your skin warms it up it goes even further. Completely unlike water-based massage gels (the durex gel lasts 2-3 massages on my skin despite being the bottle being 4 times the size).

Another thing you might want to try is bio oil (they sell it in chemists and supermarkets) that's a mixture of oils but is very reasonable. No mint in that one. Not as nice to taste but not bitter like some oils can be, not dreadful to consume. (Don't know the vege credentials of it though, sorry). Not a treat like the Touche oil but if you're indulging in a lot of massage it's very reasonable & a nice feel on my skin.

This is simply divine. The smell is so gorgeously fresh. It's like freshly cut grass... I prefer it more than the other floral scented tones. I don't think any of the massage candles including edible ones are really supposed to be edible lol. They may be safe to taste but they're not really tasty as you might think. I love the feel of massage candles rather than the usual oily feel of massage oils. But I do know that there are some amazing ones out there.

I have the vanilla "glow oil" and it's edible, although the vanilla and oil mix is a little strong.

I'd also recommend Jimmyjane massage candles for pure scented gorgeousness; they linger on the skin very nicely too, but aren't as pleasant when you finish off the massage with your mouth.

The other thing to consider is whether an edible lube would do a better job as a massage medium - since they're edible and condom-friendly they're a safer bet if you use condoms or oil-sensitive toys after your massage, since both your hands and your partner's body will likely be covered in the stuff!

I know Hella is a big fan of using silicone lube as a massage product.

To me, I can see a lot of negatives. Lots of mess and it's a complete bitch to clean off, but it is kissable (Don't ingest a lot, it wont do you any harm but by god will it hang around in your mouth) but it is condom safe and it'll last longer than a water based lube.

would coconut oil be a good massage oil? Cant say its ever occured to me!

It's an excellent massage oil! It starts solid, but melts at skin temperature, the taste is inoffensive, the smell is lovely, and if you ingest any, it's actually very healthy for you. Cocoa butter is a bit harder in texture - more like a chapstick - so it would need to be blended with something else to be a good massage oil.

I wouldn't recommend the edible lube/massage oil combos, based on the reviews I've read. I haven't tried them, but things that try to serve two purposes are often substandard at both.

I've heard there is some contention over how healthy coconut oil is. I've heard that coconut and palm oils have very high levels of saturated fat. Extra Virgin oilive oil is really good for you though. =)

I always use coconut oil for massage, as while I'm not intending to taste it, I usually end up licking it at some point! Used purely as a massage oil (not a lube) it works really well - nice light oil that absorbs well, smells amazing, and is completely edible. I use coconut oil for cooking and keep another tub for massage. I buy Pure Coconut Oil from Holland & Barrett, it comes in a hard oil form, which is also less messy than a bottle of liquid...
